Hallway after hallway, the inflicting nausea never fades away. You enter into loops upon loops, the repetitive use of a single hallway is able to instill a state of paranoia, a throbbing headache which will not leave. The slow but steady descent haunts you as you try to make sense of what events have occurred or are occurring but never arrive on a concrete conclusion. Every step you take is one of fear, you never know what can or will happen next, a cycle of fear which never stops. Its use of visual imagery such as dangling fridges,scattered miscellaneous items, and radio messages creates a masterclass of immersion and horror which exceedingly few games manage to perform. Every new loop is simultaneously a sigh of relief and an impending feeling of doom as you force yourself to face the “same” hallway. Every stylistic choice presented is to mess with your brain, leave you with more questions. It feels so meticulously designed.
